Lad–lit
Lad Lit is a fictional genre of male-authored novels about young men and their emotional and personal lives, often characterized by a confessional and humorous writing style.
The term combines the word "lad," which refers to a boy or young man and "lit," which is short for "literature." The term "lad lit" can be used as a noun to refer to the genre of fiction (about young men and their emotional and personal lives), or as a modifier (e.g., "lad-lit novels").
